Do you have any double knit quilts, in your possession?

  2. Have a great time, Victoria! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back. If you run into my friend Jodie from Vintage Ric Rac give her a hug from me!

  3. My grandmother passed away recently and I received several quilt tops from her massive sewing stock pile. Among those were two cotton tops and three large double knit quilt tops. I have a smaller double knit lap quilt that she gave me and that thing is a workhorse. My kids have dragged it all over the house and it shows absolutely no wear. I love it!

  6. I have a wonderful double- knit quilt made by my " gramma Gracie". You'd love it. It's solid squares alternating with made fabric squares. FABULOUS! She made it in the '50s.

  8. I did not even know what double knit was before I started blogging, so that would probably be a no. Have fun at market with the tie and bag and congratulations on your new adventure as a Cover Girl:)

  11. I don't have one, but I slept under one years ago and it was SO warm! I love your clutch bag and tie made from your fabric. Can't wait to purchase that fabric!

  12. I have a small stash of vintage double knit. No plans for it yet. Enjoy your trip to Portland. Hope the weather cooperates, though I suppose you'll mostly be indoors.

  14. I have at least 3 double knit quilts. One is finished, and, two more are just tops, handed down thru family. One is even a hexie quilt.

  15. No double knits in my possession, but I just wanted to say how cute your clutch is -- especially in your fabrics. :-)
